Abstract:

 The present paper tries to shed light on one of the most important poets of his time, William Wordsworth, and his concept of childhood. It gives a holistic picture of the poet's own childhood, rearing and education which can enlighten the reasons behind his ideas and beliefs about children’s rearing and education. It also deals with the poems which show his own pure delight and interest in children and childhood since he considers them as innocent creatures, and obviously he believes that childhood is a critical stage in any human being's life and children are very sensitive creatures who need to be taken care of in order to raise normal personalities ready to embrace life and make the difference. Moreover, this paper traces back and highlights the effect of some philosophers in forming and shaping his concept. This paper triggers more research work on this delicate poet who refused to abide by the formality , complexity, and hypocrisy of die eighteenth-century and rebelled against all the stiff mles that governed it.
